One of the things i added to my souped up PowerMac 7300 was a SCSI card and an LVD hard drive, Seagate 80GB@ 10,000RPM . Now this drive takes a bit longer then its original HDD to …

Oh, I remember, I drew a nice design with four PLCC parts on the same side of the board and realized that they'd be too close together for convenient hand soldering. Two need to …

Nope, I actually had to keep it low or they got really loud. I looked at removing the big metal bracket thing, but there's one screw that I can't get to because it looks to be und…

I'm pretty sure you need to slide out the motherboard (disconnecting all cables), and just the metal bracket inside housing the floppy drive and hard disk to get to the speaker. D…

The explanation offered (with apologies) is fair and above board; items still included make the price agreeable. He'll probably say $50 on the day; I know the guy. Married? Yes, m…

That's one nice pice-o-Sparcs!
